Unlimited MetroPCS/T-Mobile Tether Settings.

[TewSlo]

First off I do believe you have to have unlimited data or use a VPN App to bypass your usage restrictions. Both companies have been unlawfully cracking down on data usage and overcharging our "unlimited" plans. So, without further ado this is how I have come of maintaining true unlimited tether usage!

Here is everything I have configure thus far with MetroPCS/T-Mobile that works 35/35 Mbps.
APN Settings:
APN-fast.metropcs.com
MMSC-http://metropcs.mmsmvno.com/mms/wapenc
MCC-310
MNC-260
APN Type-default,supl,mms,dun
APN Protocol-IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol-IPv6

Wifi Tether Router Settings:
Interface-wlan0 (or whatever your config that works)
Method-Native Tether
Check ON Keep Screen ON / Prevent Stand By / Nat Policy Alternative / Reset Default Route
Wifi Tether Router DHCP Settings:
IP Address-172.16.11.0
DNS 1-8.8.8.8
DNS 2-8.8.4.4

Next, I use Free Tethering Unlocker

Okay, so I've realized other methods have stopped working. The only method I have consistently work is the "Native Tether" option I explained previously. If the "Free Wifi Tether Unlocker" doesn't seem to help I suggest you use SQLite to modify the file: /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db, find wifi_tether_dun, click on it and change the value from 1 to 0 (some brands use "tether_entitlement_check_state" or other names, just remember the default value before you change to 0. Good luck!

SQL Table

Looking for the Tether* field in the sqlite file. I have searched manually, but cannot find it. Would you happen to know what table it is in? I looked for anything that might be related to tether but only found is_phone_provisioned.

Also FYI the link tether unlocker is 404.

Regards

my apologies, you don't necessarily need to edit the SQL database if you use the Free Tether Unlocker; supposedly it will do it for you. I guess the XDA link is 404'd but it can still be found on the Play Store located here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.kernelxp.freetether&hl=en

I have tried these settings as directed but when I try to turn on the hotspot through WiFi Tether to get internet on my notebook I have no internet connection. Any help?

I suggest rebooting your phone after you make the suggested changes, then activate the hotspot. If you could possibly tell me the error as well. While in windows left click on your wifi icon in the taskbar, then right click your connection and click "status" and then "details", from there take a screenshot of your settings so I can verify it looks correct.

I will do and get back with you. Thanks for the help. I have my own way of getting Wifi Tether to work as a hotspot but it makes my phone hot as hell and sometimes I feel like I should just get better speeds. The normal hotspot don't heat my phone like this.

I ALWAYS keep my phone plugged in, screen brightness on low or off entirely with Keep Screen ON and Prevent Standby options checked in the Wifi Tether Router App. Hope it helps!

I have followed your step minus the sql as i cannot find the table. I do not know to what extent it works but it does work for me to some extent. Hulu.com wasnt loading much but since I have windows 10 I downloaded the hulu app and it is streaming fine for me.

This is the result that I got from speedtest I do not know how good or bad this is compared to my regular tethering.


Cant post url will find an alternative

Two problems that I have encountered is one that it displays the setting set through my regular hotspot not throught the wifi tether app so I do not know if I am just using regular tethering or what also i do know that I exceeded my 8gb limit. Also I experienced the wifi going out and I would need to restart it through the app I havent configured if it works also just by re enabling the wifi in settings. I also do not know if it may be because of my screen going off.

I also changed the setting from wan0 to auto.

Some sites such as google loads extremly fast and other load slow may be the content such as flash or something I heard it could be flash I do not know if hulu runs of flash.

Thanks hopefully it works fine , I just do not know if the speeds for the test are good or not. Would the speed be better through usb? Please inform me and if so how would this work would it be through PDANet? As i tried and would not get a connection.

please remove the space before net also I have not experienced the wifi timing out for the past hour with the screen on. I also changed the time out from inactivity from 10 to forever.

It is possible you need to alter your DNS settings. In the Wifi Tether Router settings go to DHCP settings and make sure your DNS is 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, in my APN settings I have them both regular and roaming type set to IPv6

Same settings , i experienced 6hours plus of activity two times yesterday at a nice speed while watching hulu. App crashed once i believe after 5-6 hours and after restaring it was fine throughout the whole night.

Sometimes if you have a RAM cleaner app it will kill the process, especially if you have an unpaid for apk as well, Fabio has his app secure when it comes to piracy so I do suggest you buy it if you haven't already. It updates almost every other day and if you're outdated for some reason it will crash quite a bit.

No RAM cleaner and I also have a legit APK. The app works fine for me in general for my needs.

Still unsure as to what the issue may be, if you could give me your make and model of phone as well as what carrier you use I'll have a look into it!

After changing apn as you instructed get the new foxfi. When you turn on hotspot click the 3 little dots and turn on proxy server...works great, still shows that small amount of tether is used, just to get connected(only like 15mb) once multiple proxy start can use many gb before even getting 100mb.
